In a reply to my party leader during Leaders' Questions on the issue of GAA Palestine, the Taoiseach said he would say no more. We need answers on this, however. This is perplexing for us in opposition too. The necessary documentation was supplied. The appeals mechanism allowed no real mechanism for the trip to go ahead due to the timeframe. The inconsistency-----

I thank the Ceann Comhairle for her latitude. I want to raise again - this is about the fourth time - the issue of policing in Limerick city. In the last pass-out from Templemore, we received one extra Garda and lost one Garda to retirement. We have had 17 shootings so far this year. This week, we had the terrible situation where a retail worker was assaulted and bitten by somebody who claimed when she attacked this person that she had HIV. This retail worker is now out of work. I am pleading for an increased allocation from the next pass-out from Templemore. At the moment, our city is like a tinderbox. We are also still waiting for the Garda Commissioner to approve a CCTV scheme in Garryowen. The joint An Garda Síochána and Limerick City and County Council business case for CCTV funding is with the Commissioner at the moment. Will the Taoiseach please talk to the Garda? We really need to see more gardaí on the street in Limerick.

But can the Minister take this back to him?
